Rate Your Landlord Awards: Winners 2017

May 9, 2017

For those of you who didn’t manage to catch us on Facebook Live, the 2017 Rate Your Landlord winners were announced at the awards ceremony at the University of Leeds last night. This was the first Rate Your Landlord Awards ceremony and it proved a success, with the great landlords of Leeds being recognised by their own tenants for their ongoing commitment to providing consistently high quality private student accommodation.

Mike Wilkinson, Chair of Unipol’s Board, introduced the event by giving an overview of the Rate Your Landlord concept, before the winners of each category were announced by LUU’s Jamie Ali and Kelly-Anne Watson from LBSU.

Winners for each category were decided based on the content of the comments received and the overall score the winner received in their individual category.

Elizabeth was described by her tenants as: “Great, couldn’t ask for a better landlord”. “An amazing landlord! We haven’t had many issues, but any we have had have been dealt with quickly and efficiently.”

This was decided by Leeds University Union and Leeds Beckett Students’ Union, and was based on the overwhelming number of outstanding comments we received for Sue, including: “Sue completely understands that signing for a house can be daunting and put us all at ease. A lovely landlord I would highly recommend”, and “such a lovely and thoughtful woman. She makes sure we are very comfortable which makes the university experience more enjoyable”.

A huge well done to all of the winners!

Next time you’re house-hunting make sure to keep a look-out for the Rate Your Landlord sticker – all ratings are submitted by students so you can be sure to know you’ll be a happy tenant during your time at university.
